This week we were back to work with our first interim legislative committee meetings of the year. I’m serving on the Political Subdivisions and Economic Development and Workforce Services interim committees—two important areas as we plan for Utah’s continued growth and prosperity. I've attached some of the key topics we'll be studying and discussing throughout the interim.
We also had the chance to tour the stunning new stained glass art installation in the North Capitol Building, which is still under construction. The building is set to be completed next year and will be a beautiful and functional addition to our Capitol complex.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our work throughout the interim!

As this session comes to an end, I’m grateful for the progress we’ve made and the opportunity to serve the state of Utah. It’s been a fast-paced and productive few weeks, with important discussions, key legislation passed, and real impact for our communities.
I appreciate the collaboration and dedication of my colleagues and interns, as well as the Utahns who have engaged in the process. It’s been an honor to be part of this work, and I look forward to continuing to serve.

Dylan Hennefer has been one of my interns during this legislative session and I am grateful for all the time and effort he has put into helping me at the Legislature. He is a native of Lehi, Utah and currently a student at Utah Military Academy - Camp Williams, where he is actively involved in a variety of programs, including JROTC, Sea Cadets, Competitive Colorguard, Raiders, and several sports teams. Additionally, he is in the process of enlisting in the United States Army Reserve.
Dylan's political journey began in 2023 when he had the opportunity to attend events hosted by the Sutherland Institute. There, he had the privilege of listening to Representatives and Senators share their political beliefs and personal journeys. During his time as an intern, he has gained valuable insights into the political and legislative process, as well as a deeper understanding of how government offices function.
In the future, he aspires to further expand his political knowledge and pursue admission to a military service academy to contribute to the betterment of our country. I have no doubt that with his work ethic and dedication, he will go on to do great things. Thank you, Dylan, for all your dedication this session!

Thank You Sir. What wonderful words to read from you. I am extremely proud to carry the “Label” of DAD for this young man. I am so very proud of him and his accomplishments. He speaks so highly of his time and experience while working under your tutelage. Dylan and mentioned several time what an Honor it is to work with you. Thank You. I know Dylan will take what he has experienced and learned and share it with those around him, and those that he will come i contact with in his future ventures.
Today, the Legislature and Governor Cox stood with firefighters to mark the passage of H.B. 65, a major step in ensuring their health and safety.
Firefighters face serious risks, and cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths. This bill expands access to cancer screenings, early detection, and medical benefits, while also strengthening training programs to enhance firefighter safety.
Proud to have co-sponsored this important legislation and stand with those who risk their lives for our communities.

With just a few days left in the session, things are moving quickly! HB 293 – Vehicle Sales Tax Amendments and HB 502 – Transportation and Infrastructure Funding Amendments both passed the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee today and are now headed to the Senate floor for consideration.
The work continues late into the evening at the Capitol as we make every effort to advance these bills and make the most of the remaining days of the session!
